It's the start of another Premier League weekend, and if we are to judge from what's happened before, then it promises to be a heck of a weekend. Mauricio Pochettino travels to London to face the calm Slaven Bilic in a usually feisty London derby, Mou's at Saint Mary's, Jurgen Klopp looks for revenge with the foxes, and Arsenal look to carry on their good fortune. Toni Conte's got the headache of the Bet 365 stadium.
Some minutes after noon, Javier Hernandez's West Ham welcome London buddies Tottenham Hotspur to the Olympic Stadium. Last time these sides met, Spurs' title challenge ended thanks to Manuel Lanzini. The visitors? Well, it seems they'll prefer to play away from home always. They have a 100% record away. No need emphasising the barren home form. Last time out, they failed to press home their advantage against a visiting Swansea outfit. Needless to say the points can't be more crucial. And eh, Andy Carroll's in for this one.
The 3pm games come with their usual blitz. Huddersfield Town take a trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley. Life without Tom Heaton . Everton look for new life against Bournemouth, Man City welcome the "fortunate" Crystal Palace to Mancunia. No prizes for guessing how many Kun Aguero will register. He's a few goals away from a club record. Manchester United's at Southampton looking to go top, Watford travel to Wales to face Tammy Abraham's Swansea City and Stoke City welcome Chelsea. Freed Diego Costa looking to make a fortune on this one. To close the day, Leicester City welcome Liverpool. The Merseysiders have never won since Klopp came to town, losing all three. Checking the clouds, eh Jürgen? The Banter gods sense this is the feast for the weekend.
Brighton and Hove Albion welcome Newcastle United to the Falmer Stadium. And guess who's in goal for the newboys. Dutch penalty-expert Tim Krul (yeah Mike Ashley, he's back). Fancy an upset?. The Geordies with a spring in their step after last week's win against Stoke City. Centre-back Jamaal Lascelles having sights of the top-scorer berth given his recent heroics. Arsenal v West Brom at The Emirates ends the gameweek. Much-loved Mesut Özil back in training for this one. Night for a Tony Pulis masterclass? We'll see what the Chilean has on that.
Right, for the umpteenth time, we're back. For the umpteenth time, your bookies await their shares. You think Klopp's not shaking? Pep's already doing the tango. Chances are this will be some heck of a weekend. The Premier League's the gift that just keeps giving.
